Nick Frost and Lena Headey Are Set to Star in a Serial Killer Comedy Thriller SVALTA
Nick Frost (Hot Fuzz) and Lena Headey (Game Of Thrones) are set to star in a new comedy thriller titled Svalta. The two talents previously starred together in the wrestling film Fighting With My Family.
The story for Svalta follows “a family on their summer vacation to a remote island with a dark past. There, they discover that a serial killer is on the loose and that unfortunately for them, the hostile locals have no interest in helping them.”
That sounds like it will make a fun flick, especially with the cast! The movie will be helmed by Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil (New Kids Turbo, Bro’s Before Ho’s and Ron Goossens: Low Budget Stuntman) from a script written by Frost. It’s scheduled to shoot in Finland next year.
Frost said in a statement: “Take a gentle English family and send them on holiday to a tiny Swedish island full of maniacs. Simple. Not so much Nuts In May. More ‘Nuts in Mayhem’. After working with Lena in Fighting with My Family I couldn’t imagine anyone else in the world I’d want to play Susan. So I was absolutely thrilled when I heard she’d not only read the script but she actually liked it enough to do me the great honour of saying yes and once again being my on-screen wife.”
Wayward Entertainment, Resolute Films, Film Service Finland, XYZ Films and Frost are producing.
